It's For Mac Only !!!!!!
I'm sure this thing works great but just in case it wasn't obvious, it wasn't to me, it will only work on the Mac. The drivers are for the Mac and the Tooldial software is for the Mac. Maybe the blue lights come on if you plug it into a USB port but other than that, it is useless to purchase this product if you own a Windows PC.
NuLOOQ-Excellent!
Logitech scored a big plus with this item.The important thing is that you really need the processing power for the device to run properly.The first review is really unfair.Logitech does not hide the fact that you really should be using the NuLOOQ on a G5 processor. It says so right on the box. I'm using it on a G4 1.8ghz and I feel that I'm behind a bit with power. To review the NuLOOQ on a G4 800mhz is ludicrous.Of course it won't perform to the rigid standards of todays graphic professionals on an underpowered box. Hook this thing up to your updated Mac and you'll see it shine. My workflow has been streamlined and I enjoy the more tedious tasks more than I ever did.Good job on this one. I recommend it highly!

Nuulooq, not so hot
I bought this item with great expectations but was disappointed enough to return it today.One big caveat on performance however, I am running an older 800 single processor Mac G4, which, although I use it in a professional graphics capacity every day (Photoshop), is a bit pokey by todays standards. After downloading Tiger 10.4.6 which is required for the tooldail app. I got the thing going. This is what I found1)Evan after setting all the Tooldial prefs to the fastest speed I got slow and jerky navigation w/ the nav ring... Overshooting the area I wanted to see because of a delayed response.Also, to pan upwards on the page requires reaching over the top of this 2 inch tall device to press (with a firm pressure), on the far side of the ring, which requires a repositioning of the entire hand.Poor ergonomiics in my opinion, seems like they went for a sexy look/concept instead.2) An Ipod type dialing motion is fine on an Ipod,but on this device took many rapid circles on top of the tooldial to effect much change in Brush size etc. and seemed much less sensitive and intuitive than a rub strip on a music synthisizer or a waacom pressure pad.3)The trigger points funtion, but require surprisinglyheavy pressure to operate,at least 6 to 7 times the pressure of a mouse click. This kind of treatment 8 Hours a day would send my aging wrists to the glue factory within a week....There may be a device out there that will someday "revolutionize my workflow", but this isnt it, Back it goes.... ...

Smells Awful
The product works well and stayed firm, but the smell is horrible and will not go away. It smells like a solvent is leeching out. I was hoping it would go away, but after several weeks my office still smells like someone spilled a bottle of mineral spirits over those old vinyl capes from Star Wars figures.

Wonderfull, prevents and works.
It worksfor me.. for my 10 - 15 hours a day. I have the orange version. This does not smell. Does not stick and stays cool with hot weather.

Saved my wrist.
I did a lot of digital "painting" with my mouse (before I could afford a tablet) and was destroying my wrist in the process. In theattempt to save myself some long-term pain, I invested in the $10 gel wrist protector and have not been disappointed. It isn't a cure all but is extremely, extremely benefical. I use the computer 10+ hours every day and would be in agony if I didn't use the wrist pad. It should come standard with a computer.I didn't encounter any smell with my purchase. Even putting my nose to it and sniffing, I can't smell anything. So if there was a smell originally, it's completely gone away now. (I've had it over a year though.)I definitely recommend anyone who is having pain in their wrist to try this product, and to consider investing in a Wacom or similar tablet, as it's a little less strenuous on the wrist. ...

Amazing mouse surface, but problem with Logitech G5 Mouse!
Bought this pad because it was the best and I do a lot of graphic work. The pad is amazing and larger than I thought...but the control side of the pad does not work with my wired Logitech G5 mouse :( The speed side of the pad works fine and is alright, but disappointed that the control side did not work.

first impressions
I just got this pad today and its a good pad from what i have experienced.I am happy with it and it does the job with 2 surfaces to choose from.I flip it over to speed side for gaming and back to slower side for graphic design and image editing.Of course it's your preference, but the option is nice to have.I might even get another of these when I setup my office.30 bux aint a bad investment in somethin that reeks in increasing mouse productivity.I have reviewed many products on the market and this is another one of those quality items.Razer is a very good name.If you know anything about computer products and quality, then you ought to have a good mouse pad.For the average joe, who aint computer inclined...probably a hard surface pad wouldnt mean anything much.
Great Mouse pad
The Razer eXactMat is worth every penny!The two surfaces are perfect for gaming and are 100% better with my Razer Copperhead mouse.I had a regular mousepad before this one and didn't have nearly the control.

Lead???
OK folks, it's time to use a little common sense when you say something. To complain about lead without know the facts is idiotic. According to Belkin's Material Safety Data Sheet for these mouse pads, lead content is less than 0.03% lead. That means it could be (and most likely is) less than that.Lead is an element that appears in MANY items naturally, including food and drinking water! To review something poorly like this reveals how stupid you really are. Do some research and calculate how much lead you ingest yearly through breathing and ingestion before you make ridiculous claims.

Papa's got a brand new mousepad!
I'm sorry for the horrible subject lining... but yes, I just bought this mousepad minutes ago, and am trying it as we speak. I've always been into mousepads... whether for their design, easiness to use, and of course accuracy and comfort. I've always wanted a gel-mousepad but haven't gotten around to getting one. I recently saw the IConcepts Large Mousepad (the dark blue circular one with a fairly small and oversized wrist rest). Anyways, that was my initial choice b/c of the price ($6.99), but it was basically rigid. So naturally I began looking at the other brands on display... and saw this exact same Belkin product... in color black. Soft enough, decent price ($9.99) and the wrist rest was large/wide enough to support the ENTIRE wrist (god help those who actually move their mouse throughout the ENTIRE pad, right, just like the rest of us), anyways, I went down and saw the color in silver, and got it for the same price.
Good comfortable wrist support.
I'm glad some reviewers have commented that the wrist pad has lead, and shouldn't be used by those with lead allergies or little children who might eat it.

Great form but does not work with my optical mouse
The mouse pad is a great idea with superb support for the wrist. Unlike some customers, I did not detect any odors or problems with the materials use in the gel pad.However, the mouse pad did not work with my Logitech optical mouse.Great idea but poorly implemented.

The wrist rest mousepad
I really like the mousepad with the gel wrist rest, because it helps support the wrist while using a mouse and, it makes it less likely to get carpal tunnel, as the wrist rest props your wrist up to the proper position.I recommend it to other constant computer users.

comfortable, but useless to me
I don't have the blue one, mine is a glossy black. Very nice piece, but the surface won't work with my optical mouse either. I'm sure it has something to do with the color/reflectiveness. I have noticed that this company also sells pads that they specify for optical mice. ... Read more

Editorial Review

The design of the 3M WR310BE Gel Wrist Rest for Keyboard is derived from medical technology. Specifically, the technology behind this comfortable and ergonomically designed wrist rest is based on the gel used in wheelchairs, hospital beds and the fabric from medical tapes and bandages. The firm gel conforms to your wrist as you're typing, but then quickly returns to its original shape. The low-friction non-woven fabric is gentle to the skin, highly conformable and reduces heat and moisture build-up. The gel pad encourages neutral wrist position, and its exclusive gel filling and non-woven fabric provides soothing, comfortable support. The baseplate keeps the wrist rest securely in place on desktops or adjustable keyboard trays as you work. ... Read more

Comfort for the keyboard
I type medical reports for a living, up to 10 hours a day and 7 days a week. Without the wrist rest, my wrists would not be able to hold up. The wrist rest is the perfect size. It stays in place on the desk. The gel continues to be supportive, even after a year of working on it. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the back of the wrist rest that lays on the desk has a horrible smell. I can't smell it while typing, only when I pick it up for cleaning. I wish there was the option for half stars - I'd give this 4-1/2 stars.

A comfortable, sturdy rest...
The 3M Gel Wrist Rest for keyboards is about 19 inches long, 3 wide, and 1 high. Even though I'm not putting much pressure on it, the product does conform to my wrist- without letting it sink in the gel. It's definitely supportive. I use an ergonomic keyboard, which has a curve built into the board where its own plastic wrist rest attaches. But I removed the plastic wrist rest, set the gel wrest as close up against the keyboard as possible, and I like it this way. My fingers hit the keys in the same way, but my wrists are straighter and on a soft surface. Someone who has a regular keyboard would be able to push the rest up closer if they want, and the support would be focused closer to the palms.Read more

best mouse pad ever!!!!
man what a great mouse pad. Doesnt move around, great for Perice movements, and looks good next to my Eclipse keyboard.

Best Mouse Pad I've Ever Used
I've used a couple other gaming mouse pads and this is my favorite.
ROCKS!
This mousepad ROCKS! It has 2 sides, a very smooth side, and a rougher side. So no matter what your preference this pad delivers. I really like the smooth side, it has low drag and makes your mouse slide like butter. The pad also has a rubber base, which prevents sliding around on your desk, and a clip to hold the mouse wire. Works great with the Logitech MX510 mouse. Will increase your frags! ... Read more

very disappointing
Overall my experience with this mouse pad is very disappointing. I had this mouse pad for more than a month and my experience with it is average to very poor. The only positive is it is a very sturdy mouse pad. I have used an optical mouse and a laser mouse on this mouse pad. Both were manufactured by Microsoft. The optical mouse works ok on this mouse pad but the laser mouse (micro) does not work at all. Although I have not tested mice from other manufacturers, I believe this is something new buyers should be aware of before they spend any money on this good looking mouse pad. ... Read more

The best I've had
Pros:

Good wrist support, nice design. Crumbs from lunches at my desk, though, like to get caught in its grooves!

pleasing.
This item has a comfortable wrist rest, the surface is easy to clean, and the egonomic designs are great!

Huge!
This mouse pad is huge. At 17.7 x 15.7 inches it's about the same size as a tray you might get your lunch on at a cafeteria. It was so big I had to have my keyboard rest partly on the pad so it would fit on my desk. Now there are no worries about running out of mouse pad during frantic gaming.

It's a bit small
I just got this and I found the wrist pad to be a bit on the thick side, but I think I can get use to that.It is pretty comfortable.What bothers me most is the size of the mouse pad.It's about 6 inches by 6 inches.My hands aren't terribly big, but I do have long fingers and long, slender wrists.It seems that when I rest my wrist comfortably on the wrist pad, my mouse is positioned at the very top of the mouse pad, and I am always attempting to move it higher and I end up moving the mouse off the pad.If you have large hands this probably is not the mouse pad for you.If your hands are small, then it will probably be just fine.

Information about lead, and the lack thereof in this product
Just a brief little bit of information for those concerned like I was, this product does NOT contain lead in it like the "Belkin Wave Rest Gel Mouse Pad Silver (F8E262-SLV)."
Serves the purpose
I work in my computer major portion of the day and I desparately needed a wrist rest to reduce my wrist pain and avoid anything like CTS or RSI. And this mouse rest and pad from fellowes works and helps solving the problem. Read more

Razer ExactMat
Pretty simple decision, if you don't have one, get one. The Exactmat is the "only" mouse pad you should be using. I got so tired of the neoprene type pads, 1. they get dirty, 2. they come apart, 3. lots of mouse drag 4. they are too small. Once you own the ExactMat you will wonder why you ever used anything else and why it took you so long to put down the extra few bucks it takes to get one. Even though the ExactMat is more than two times more expensive than the "neoprene" type pads, it is by far the best bang for you buck in mouse pads. I am a CAD engineer with lots and lots of mouse time, I demand as close to effortless mouse sailing as I can get and the ExactMat is a joy to use. Am I over the edge, maybe, (don't tell anyone but I also sprayed both the ExactMat and the bottom of my mouse with silicone spray and then wipe it off for almost frictionless clicking). Bottom line: this is a great product and I can't imagine any user that would not benefit from using one.

Nice but flawed
Although this product seems great, with the large size, substantial weight, and dual coatings it has one major flaw.
Excellent mousepad!
This mousepad is super-sensitive and much more accurate for any task where precision is important.The speed side works great for games or general use and the control side is great for when the small details count such as using graphics or drawing programs.The mat is aluminum so it doesn't warp or get "bumpy" like some of the rubber ones do.It's also easy to clean.
